This was on reddit from a Chiefs fan

Spoiler!

Yes I know he’s super rich and talented blah blah blah. However this is beyond money, there’s the very real human factor of everyone outside of KC just taking massive swings at this guy. He’s done every single thing in his life the right way. Some may call his wife annoying but it shows his incredible loyalty to sticking with the people who got him there and stayed by his side. How many athletes would trade in a high school sweetheart for a 100 Instagram OnlyFans groupies… would they praise him for that?

As in Cam Newton impregnating strippers or Tom Brady leaving one pregnant girlfriend for a supermodel wife. It’s their lives, not casting aspersions but the shots people take at this guy is like they generally want Mahomes to have some defect, idk. But I think the hatred of his greatness is exposing something very sick and demented in our society. I would understand if Mahomes was a self obsessed narcissist like Aaron Rodgers or had multiple “baby mamas” (strippers nonetheless) but to simply find excuses like the refs or pick on a guy’s wife for cheering for him whom he remained loyal to, to pick at his voice which he himself picks at, to try to link his brother’s ****ups with him, all of it really just rubs me the wrong way.

As in people truly do want to bring you down to their level of base coarseness and mediocrity for no other reason than being successful, even if you’ve only ever been with your high school sweetheart and married her, love God, join in with the self effacing jokes about your voice, possess unreal humility despite the amazing accolades and are a model citizen. Add to that, he’s not black enough for Black America to be truly accepted by them and he wins too much for the other half of America. It truly is sad, greatness is really a burden … and it truly does seem that Mahomes greatness is his very own tragedy… truly a Greek Tragedy, Achilles stuff. Appreciate him Kansas City, the gods won’t be sending you another one of him when he’s done.

College football games don’t finish much more lopsided than the one at Iowa State late in the 2016 season.

The Cyclones, 2-8 under first-year coach Matt Campbell, toyed with their opponent, rolling up nine touchdowns and 608 total yards. The 66-10 final unfolded like one of those early season non-conference tuneups.

But the losing side on that cold, blustery day in Ames, Iowa wasn’t a directional school getting drummed for a payday, but fellow Big 12 foe Texas Tech, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes — who was playing in his next-to-last college game.

The Red Raiders entered the game as a 3 1/2-point favorite, and with a 4-6 record they needed victories in their final two games to become bowl-eligible. Personally, Mahomes needed a victory in this game and two more (TTU’s season finale and bowl) to finish .500 as a starting quarterback in college.

Instead, Iowa State set a school record for points in a conference game and sent Texas Tech to the second-most lopsided defeat in school history.

“I remember it very well,” Mahomes told The Star. “It’s the worst loss I’ve ever been a part of.”

And, as it would turn out, the most fortuitous.

Oh my god, I just figured out why Krantz kept calling him Jay Cutler. Pure comedy.

Why Patrick Mahomes Could Be the Next Jay Cutler


History shows college quarterbacks with losing records usually struggle in the NFL

By Jim Chairusmi and Michael Salfino

On a recent visit to ESPN’s campus, Patrick Mahomes threw a football over a walkway connecting two buildings, hitting a cardboard target on the other side.

That superhuman arm strength is a primary reason the 6-foot-3, 230-pound former Texas Tech quarterback has emerged as a possible first-round draft pick in Thursday’s NFL draft.

Mahomes, who threw for over 5,000 yards in 2016 with 41 touchdowns, while running for 12 more, last season, appears to have all the physical qualities that teams seek in a franchise quarterback. “I hear the buzz from teams, they’re fired up about him. He has a huge personality, a big arm, teams want to work with him,” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said.

But there’s one major troubling statistic: wins and losses.

If he is taken in the first two rounds of the draft, Mahomes’s college record of 13-16 would be the 10th-worst for quarterbacks taken that high since 1996, based on games in which they threw at least 15 passes, according to Stats LLC.

Among the other players in the bottom-10 are Jay Cutler (Vanderbilt), Tim Couch (Kentucky), Jake Locker (Washington) and last year’s top overall pick, Jared Goff (California), who endured one of the most disappointing rookie seasons in history. Brock Osweiler finished 8-8 at Arizona State and struggled as a starter in the NFL last season.

Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells said the poor track record of losing college quarterbacks making the transition to the NFL isn’t a coincidence. “Teams are so desperate to find quality at the position that they will take chances like this and, frankly, I can’t blame them,” Parcells said. “But if you are going to be a very good pro quarterback, not even elite, you should at least have won most of your games in college.”

Former Super Bowl-winning coach Brian Billick, whose Ravens drafted future bust Kyle Boller 19th overall in 2003 despite his 14-26 college record at Cal, thinks wins and losses are overrated. “Otherwise you’d just draft the Alabama quarterback every year. But guys who just put up stats by flinging the ball into coverage and who are more careless than aggressive will cost their teams wins.”

While Mahomes was hurt by the Red Raiders’ abysmal defense (last in the country at 43.5 points allowed per game), some talent evaluators see a recklessness in Mahomes’s play that won’t work in the pro game.

“I liken [Mahomes] to what I saw from Jay Cutler when he was coming out of Vanderbilt,“ said former Seahawks scout and current NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks. “Because [Cutler] played loosey-goosey at Vanderbilt, he never developed the management skills [needed] to play winning football.”1

In four years at Vanderbilt, Cutler finished with a 10-32 record before the Broncos selected him with the 11th overall pick in 2006. In his 11 NFL seasons with Denver and Chicago, Cutler has a 68-71 record as a starter.

Parcells said that intangibles such as work ethic and leadership ability can ultimately prevent quarterbacks from succeeding in the NFL. But he added that a losing college record is a tangible way to determine if these intangible deficiencies are hiding in the player. “I would have to be convinced in these cases that there are very, very strong extenuating circumstances [for losing].”
